Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

[coladin]

An absolutely ice cold take. He's a way better puck distributer than both of them, he also hangs on to it better. He is also the hardest to play against of the three of them and has the worst shot. Norris is the obvious player to move to wing. He has the best shot, he's the least engaged physically.

Well we will see but it is a nice problem to have.

The Riddler is turning out to be a better and more valuable player that I thought. Hope he becomes our version of Brad Marchard. Skilled player who is an asshole to play against.

Jacques Martin says Greig will move to the wing today.

The dude has some really soft hands. He made 2 great feather saucer passes on his back hand in the Jets game. 1 was in 1st period where he feathers it to Giroux in the left slot for a great shot chance. The other was the nice feather pass to Tkachuk in the front where he barely misses the net with a backhand shot.

People will be upset. But he is the best suited to wing of the 3 potentials and likely has the most experience there.

Looks like Greig is moving to the wing today. He should be able to be more aggressive on the forecheck causing the Flyers to turn the puck over.

hes developing well

I like Pinto on the wing more.

When did you last see Pinto on the wing?

 

[OD99]

Being a player you can move around is a big plus and speaks to his IQ and flexibility.

He lets other players be in positions they are more comfortable with.

Ice ice baby.

He’s never once played there in the NHL and I didn’t see him play there once in the to season I watched of NoDak

Never.

But his skill set translates well to the wing, big guy with speed and a good shot.

And, I think to clarify… I really meant that I think Greig is more effective at center, better playmaker and better hockey sense. There’s a reason Tkachuk-Greig-Giroux has been so dangerous and since Greig joined it.

Norris should move to the wing imo. Pinto is an excellent 3C.

Norris should move to the wing imo. Pinto is an excellent 3C.

I’d be okay with that as well. I’d just be worried about Norris’ injury history as wingers do have more physical contact.
Although I guess we could have the same worry about Pinto.

 

[armani]

Brad Marchand. Not light. The next generation.

 

[aragorn]

Love the way Greig plays, what we need is a few more playing that way including Batherson.

 

[robsenz]

Should be a core player, these are the guys that win you playoff series

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I said it a couple years ago. Greig will be Stutzle's longterm wing duo/partner.

Greig will be our Mike Richards.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Bath made a great play up a goal. He got clipped with something could see he was hurt. And booked it to the middle of the zone and blocked a shot

 

[coladin]

I think he can play with more of an edge on the wing with less responsibilities of a center. As witnessed today lol what a hit

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Easily has been our second best center. He should be on the top line between Tkachuk and Giroux with Norris and Pinto in the bottom 6

 

[DJB]

I like Pinto on the wing more.

No he’s best suited at C.

I said in Greigs draft year he’s better suited on the wing.

Norris should join him as well

 

[SpezDispenser]

No he’s best suited at C.

Agreed.

Greig will be a great winger for puck retrieval. I'd echo the sentiments that he should be on stu's wing permanently - forechecking and getting pucks for him.

This kid has plenty of grit to his game, what a hit on Risto! Borderline dirty, but certainly punishing:
